Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Heard Museum is a private nonprofit founded in 1929 that specializes in American Indian art and culture. The institution comprises 12 galleries and an outdoor sculpture garden, alongside a museum shop and an outdoor café. It seeks to advance American Indian art by presenting stories from a first-person perspective and showcasing both traditional and contemporary works, contributing to broader understanding and appreciation of Indigenous art. Its audience includes visitors, students, researchers, and members of the public seeking authentic insight into Indigenous art and heritage. The museum relies on support from members and donors as well as funding from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture. In October 2023, Heard Museum appointed John Coggins as chair of the board of trustees.
